Short filmTranscript
00:03A hundred years passed. The realm was undone by its own celebration. At the wedding feast of Princess Rosalie and
00:12Lord Varden Hawthorne, the fields of Shrewsbury gave forth their first poisoned harvest, and the royal table was its victim.
00:20All who supped that night perished, save one, Prince Varden, who was too anxious to eat. By dawn, he was
00:29king. The blight spread swiftly through all the shires except Vindisher, whose walls held firm and whose grain endured. Thus,
00:38the new king made Vindisher the seat of power, but gave back to the blighted counties a competition soaked in
00:46blood.
00:47And we honor that competition with the legacy of the most eligible heiress.
00:55What an exhilarating day for us all. Truly, this is what the most eligible heiress is meant to celebrate. The
01:05pursuit of love.
01:06But most importantly, to root out the traitors and threats to the realm. Concurrent to the wedding, we will commence
01:15on the next iteration of the most eligible heiress.
01:19What? What?
01:20Excitingly, we have a nominee with us here tonight!
01:27Shall we unveil our nominee?
01:31No! No!
01:37Hilara, you shouldn't!
01:38Why haven't you confirmed that I'm the nominee?
01:39While I understand why...
01:41No! You don't.
01:43Perhaps. But there's more to account for than your wants.
01:47We are in a dire position. It's imperative. Whomever represents this county must be able to make it deep into
01:51the competition.
01:52I am by far the best trained that you...
01:56That is not the issue!
01:58If they find out your true family name, they'll kill you.
02:02But I...
02:02They'll break the competition, you will die, and the county will be left with nothing!
02:06No, they cannot possibly do that again.
02:09I understand. What happened to Everett was evil.
02:13But there is a whole county of people for whom I am the guardian.
02:17You are a bureaucrat.
02:20If we place last, everyone will starve. Your mother and sister included.
02:26Think of Elowen.
02:27That's why I'm the only option.
02:34I have little to offer.
02:37What is this?
02:38I gave the same token to Everett before he left.
02:40I'm certain those last letters were meaningful.
02:48Mother, are you awake?
02:50Hmm.
02:51My darling girl.
02:55I left enough food for you and Elowen.
02:57Beautiful little princess.
03:01I wish I could have given you the life we deserve.
03:05Everett was supposed to reclaim what was ours.
03:08I know.
03:09I know, Mother.
03:11I'm going to do that now.
03:12Never forget.
03:14I won't.
03:15I won't, Mother.
03:18Are you actually leaving us?
03:25Elowen, I have to do this.
03:28What if you...
03:29I won't.
03:30He taught me everything I know.
03:33I promise to win.
03:36Everett promised me the same thing.
03:38I know.
03:39You promised me to.
03:42Here.
03:44Do your makeup like I thought you are.
03:46We'll be sure to tease you.
03:52Ellie, what is this?
03:53It's a hairpin.
03:55I found it in Mom's drawer.
03:57She'd give it to you if she knew.
03:58I doubt it.
03:59I don't.
04:07Elowen.
04:08Your Majesty, I must offer my condolences for Princess Maeve tragedy.
04:12There is always trouble in our time.
04:14How goes the manner of reparations?
04:16I do believe this year is set to be the greatest in recent memory.
04:21Good.
04:22And the Prince's reaction?
04:23Good.
04:24He is choosing a mask as we speak.
04:30And the other contestants?
04:31The young lady from Emberhelm, Juliet Ashford, shows the most promise this year.
04:35By reports, she's deeply adept with the sword and has a confident disposition.
04:40Pick up those bags.
04:43Ever the obedient one, aren't you?
04:46Fairmetals' maiden is Clementine Parker.
04:49The Duke's gambling debts have put his family in a precarious situation.
04:53Her entry is truly an act of courage.
04:55Compellingly, we have another member of the Matsumoto clan.
04:58Oh, so winning this competition is in their bloodlines.
05:01The Matsumotos have sent their daughter, Aiko, to compete.
05:04She is known for her agility and balance.
05:07Who else?
05:08Jane and Miobe.
05:09The whispers for the realm tell me she's quite strong, but perhaps a bit dimwitted.
05:15It's always a good test for the others to have a sturdy simpleton.
05:18The final contender is Amina Masood from Silverkeep.
05:21She became the nominee after an accident befell the previous nominee.
05:26And the girl from Shrewsbury.
05:28Ilara Halloway, you needn't concern yourself.
05:31Let there be no more Shrewsbury mistakes.
05:34The fate of the Weaver Boy and poor Maeve should suffice as lesson.
05:49Welcome to your first task of the most eligible heiress of Shrewsbury.
05:53Navigate yourself to the manor.
05:54The future queen must be smart, savvy, and know the wits.
05:57There are traps and deadly contestants in your way.
05:59The first to arrive will receive a boon, the last to handicap.
06:09Is it too much to ask that you'll carry my bag for me?
06:13Okay.
06:15Okay.
06:29I don't need that patch to tell me you're Shrewsbury filth.
06:32Is it my perfect posture?
06:37Too slow.
06:45If you're ever in the woods had a loss, always remember to find the moss.
07:07Lovely hairpin.
07:09There's a pit trap.
07:10Out that way.
07:12Okay.
07:19The gold is very becoming, your highness.
07:23Great choice.
07:27It is customary for you to welcome the ladies who survived the first task to the manor.
07:34But your highness, it is the tradition of...
07:37Are you instructing the future heir on how to behave?
07:40No, your highness, I would never overstep my bounds.
07:44That is all for now.
07:51Bet they didn't teach you how to use a bow and arrow in Shrewsbury.
07:54No.
07:55But they did teach us how to have better end than you.
07:59You call that good aim?
08:00Yes.
08:05We have orders from the governess.
08:07We must find the Shrewsbury girl.
08:12Here.
08:13This way.
08:14I'm delighted to finally meet your acquaintance.
08:16Much has been spoken about you.
08:18I don't have time for this.
08:19I'm Andrew, the prince's first footman.
08:22And I'm the most eligible heiress.
08:24Now, if you'll excuse me.
08:29Quick.
08:29She should be close.
08:31You're welcome.
08:33Again.
08:36Over there.
08:38You're first.
08:39Which will certainly impress the prince.
08:45I am in your debt.
09:01Hey, Laura.
09:02Holloway of Shrewsbury.
09:04Allow me to offer my congratulations on your most unexpected success.
09:09Perhaps something to become accustomed to.
09:11How delightful to see you so spirited at the outset.
09:14I do hope you can sustain it.
09:16I do hope you can sustain it.
09:17At your pleasure.
09:19A fine attempt, Miss Matsumoto.
09:22So I had every expectation of brilliance, but your brother does cast a long shadow.
09:39Miss Matsumoto, what a mercy you have escaped the woods appetite.
09:44I didn't...
09:45My compliments to you all on your safe arrival.
09:48Well, ordinarily, we have at least one soul who fails to find their way out of the woods.
09:53We are blessed with uncommon talent.
09:57Shrewsbury has claimed first arrival.
09:59By right of the rules, the finest room in the manor shall be hers.
10:03Fortune does favor the swift.
10:06Where's Prince Theo?
10:07All in due time, dear Juliet.
10:12Regrettably, as last to arrive, you must accept the handicap that accompanies such tardiness.
10:26Let this be your last failing.
10:29Bind the wound tightly.
10:36Only one of you will be the most eligible heiress.
10:41The victory is within your control.
10:44Tomorrow will be a spirited contest of arms.
10:48Advance and you shall face a battle of wits.
10:51And if you're lucky enough to get to the third task, well, that is often the king's favorite.
10:57One last thing.
10:59There will be no fraternizing with the servants.
11:02They are here to work.
11:04If you are found violating this, you will be removed from the competition.
11:10I will escort all of you to your rooms.
11:13Except you.
11:14Stay here.
11:16I will return in due course.
11:31I'd be happy to escort you to your room.
11:34You know, I'd be happy to escort you to your room.
11:36I should probably wait for the grim governess to return.
11:40Yeah, I don't think she's coming back.
11:42She seems mad that you won.
11:45Perhaps you shouldn't have underestimated me then.
11:48Don't worry.
11:51I'm not.
11:56Does this count as fraternizing with the help?
11:58I'm merely helping you get to your room.
12:01But let's not get caught.
12:11For the official escort.
12:14You'll go.
12:15Before we get caught.
12:21Why did you choose to do this?
12:23My older brother died a couple of years ago.
12:27And if I want my little sister to have a better life, then I need to win.
12:31For her.
12:33I recently lost my sister.
12:36Losing a sibling is really hard.
12:41You've become a target.
12:43You need to be more careful.
12:46I don't want to see you go down so fast.
12:48They don't scare me.
12:49But it's kind that you're so worried about me.
13:06I hope you live long enough for me to see you in this.
13:08Prince Theo.
13:15This is where I could feed us for years.
13:19This is where I could feed us for years.
13:45I've got to be...
13:50I've got to be...
13:51One of these must...
14:01Your Highness, the ladies were most impressive today.
14:05Though they did inquire about your whereabouts.
14:09And...
14:09Tradition dictates...
14:10I'm the heir to the throne.
14:12I will act in the way of my choosing.
14:14As is your God-given right.
14:16Is that the whole of it?
14:18I'm growing tired of this conversation.
14:20If I may.
14:21The circumstances of tomorrow's games are such that it would be most respectful to have you in attendance.
14:28And so be it.
14:32You don't need to be here.
14:34Letters stay.
14:35Fine.
14:36When you get to the manor, you must try to get into the library alone.
14:39You must try to find a book about the Eaton family.
14:43Or written by a family member.
14:45Must we revisit this?
14:46They've not destroyed history.
14:47They've just distorted it.
14:49There's proof in there.
14:52I will find it, Mother.
15:06Who goes there?
15:09Please don't threaten me, sir.
15:11I was merely grabbing this on the governess's orders.
15:13She'll have it in my head if I don't return soon.
15:15You must be the new servant, girl.
15:18You should be more careful next time.
15:20The governess does not appreciate tardiness.
15:22Off you go.
15:38Sneaking around a castle, are we?
15:43Shouldn't you be standing guard of the prince's quarters?
15:45It's difficult to get him to sleep without a bedtime towel, perhaps.
15:48I should probably read it first.
15:50To ensure it's suitable.
15:51For the prince's precious eyes.
15:54That is very, very kind of you.
16:01You better sneak off before we call it fraternizing.
16:07Trust you all are rested.
16:09Today, we highlight your ability with a sword.
16:12You will be paired up in a series of duels.
16:14Win, and you earn your safety.
16:16Lose, and you shall fight again.
16:19I claim Shrewsbury.
16:21Why did you help me yesterday?
16:23I, I don't know.
16:25I advise you to mind your wits.
16:27We just picked you to be the first to fall.
16:30Thankfully, Prince Theo has honored us with his presence today.
16:38Most handsome man I've seen.
16:41He is as I expected.
16:43How do they even know he's attractive?
16:44He's wearing that particular mask.
16:46He's the prince.
16:47He's good enough, I guess.
16:49The pairings will be Clementine and Amina, Jane and Aiko, and finally, Juliet and Alara.
16:59Begin.
17:14It's a shame this isn't a real sword.
17:17You'd have already bled out.
17:18Or I'd have cut you to pieces before you could even land a hit.
17:23The next pairings are Alara versus Aiko.
17:27And Amina.
17:28I'd be happy to fight again, governess.
17:30Shrewsbury was barely a challenge.
17:32Thank you, Juliet.
17:34You are so gracious to put your body on the line.
17:37We need to relax.
17:38I've never fought this way before.
17:39What can you do?
17:40What can you do?
17:41You'll need one hit for victory.
17:50The final fight will be between Amina and Alara.
17:55In this round, the rules have changed.
17:57Only one of you will remain in competition.
18:01I know.
18:01It sucks.
18:02Stay light on your feet.
18:03Parry any blows.
18:04Why are you helping me?
18:06How is your pain in debts?
18:07Let's begin.
18:18Finish this already.
18:19Quick and nimble.
18:20Quick and nimble.
18:26Make it quick.
18:30Make it quick.
18:41Amina would have been a beautiful queen.
18:44Henceforth, the resources to the Silver Keep shall be greatly reduced.
18:49How thrilling.
18:50Five of you move on to the next trial.
18:53Come on.
19:09Is this what you're after?
19:13Perhaps.
19:15Are you following me?
19:16Why do you care so much about the Eatons?
19:19Must a young lady's interest in history be deemed so unseemly?
19:23If I may.
19:25We can work together, you know.
19:26Now, you tell me why you care so much about the Eatons, and I'll not only give you this
19:30book, but I'll show you where the family tree is located.
19:34If this is a trick, I will kill you.
19:37I swear on my prince.
19:44The Eatons were the original royal family.
19:47There was always whispering since Shrewsbury that the Great Famine was used to bury the truth.
19:51The truth?
19:53That the Eatons were usurped.
19:58Some people would consider that perspective treason.
20:00Well, but in that case, I am lucky to consider myself a skeptic.
20:20I'm lucky to consider myself a skeptic.
20:22Who are you, really?
20:25What makes you so interested?
20:26The governess wants you dead.
20:28She doesn't do anything without a reason.
20:30Does the governess not work for your fair prince?
20:33Things are rarely as they seem when the ruling class is involved.
20:36Oh.
20:42Now show me to this family tree section.
20:44Go.
20:45Go.
20:46Go.
20:49Go.
20:55This tea just isn't the same as home.
20:57I miss that.
20:58I don't think it's that bad.
20:59You have tea in Shrewsbury?
21:02Doubtful.
21:03They don't have proper floors in their houses.
21:11Is she okay?
21:17Clementine.
21:19You don't look so good.
21:21Neither do you.
21:31To triumph, in this contest, one must summon fortitude of the mind at a moment's call.
21:39Last, you are all poisoned.
21:42Four antidotes, four hopes.
21:45In turn, we shall pose riddles.
21:48A right answer grants life.
21:51Juliet, how do we determine the order?
21:53It's my discretion.
21:55Juliet, the maker doesn't want it.
21:58The buyer doesn't use it.
21:59The user doesn't know it.
22:01What is it?
22:02A coffin.
22:11Clementine.
22:11It is the beginning of eternity.
22:14The end of time and space.
22:17It is the start of every end.
22:19The end of every place.
22:22The letter E.
22:31Jane.
22:32Cold makes me calm.
22:34Cold makes me calm.
22:35Heat makes me mad.
22:36I break before I bend.
22:38What am I?
22:41Ice.
22:42Correct.
22:43She's from Grimfrost.
22:45It appears that we only have one dose left and two contestants.
22:51Who would like...
22:52Please!
22:53I'm ready.
22:54I go.
22:56I can crown a fool or expose a queen.
22:59Yet, I have no tongue.
23:01Only reflection.
23:03It's so simple.
23:05Hands up.
23:07A diamond.
23:09Incorrect.
23:10A mirror!
23:10A mirror!
23:11The answer is a mirror!
23:12That is correct, but that is not your riddle.
23:17The poison must be setting in.
23:21Elara, I am born when two lie, but die when one tells the truth.
23:29A secret!
23:31A secret!
23:32How fortunate!
23:35No!
23:37No!
23:40No!
23:42No!
23:42No!
23:43No!
23:43No!
23:44No!
23:44No!
23:49And she exits.
23:52Farewell.
24:02What was it like to grow up in the mountains of Grimfrost?
24:06Cold.
24:08Do you enjoy the heat?
24:10It gets quite warm in Bindershire.
24:18The thing is, we're the last two.
24:20Shall we drink until it's our turn?
24:23It's in our right after today.
24:26Is that not considered fraternizing?
24:29That only refers to the servants.
24:31Oh, my.
24:32Where did you get a dress like this?
24:36Elara, I want you alive.
24:38I wouldn't poison you mine.
24:42Am I not your competition?
24:44No.
24:45Actually, you're not.
24:47Are we back to playing riddles again?
24:49I don't want to be married to the prince.
24:50I only want the riches.
24:52How much do you know about Fairmeadow?
25:00Not much.
25:02Besides it being considered the revelry capital.
25:04Dancing and gambling.
25:06Which is why I want to form an alliance.
25:08It's important to have a partner.
25:10I'm listening.
25:13My father is the Duke.
25:16And also a degenerate gambler.
25:17So much so, our entire family is in danger of losing our status.
25:21The most eligible heiress is the largest gambling event in the county.
25:25Everyone likes to place a bet.
25:27And you.
25:29You are my fortune incarnate.
25:37So, why not bet on yourself?
25:39Take the money and the crown.
25:41One, I'm not so sure I could win.
25:44Two, you by far have the most profitable odds.
25:47After the first day, I sent my family instructions to bet every last piece of gold on you winning.
25:54Well, I am honored.
25:56You certainly seem confident.
25:58Much like my father, I like a favorable bet.
26:01But, and in exchange for your help, you'll let me live.
26:05Oftentimes, there's only one heiress remaining.
26:07But, it's not uncommon for the winner to take mercy on the competitor, if they back down.
26:12How do I know this isn't some trick?
26:14To get my guard down.
26:15You won't.
26:16But you might have to.
26:17Now.
26:20Why don't you try on this beautiful dress for me?
26:22I want you to look good for the prince.
26:40Is he really going to be here this whole time?
26:45Hurry up!
26:46I have to go soon!
26:51He'd have to be a fool not to rank you first.
26:55All right, it's time for my departure.
26:59Oh, and don't spend too much time carrying on with that footman of his.
27:02Guessing he's the jealous type.
27:04How did you...
27:05And then, I took my father's sword and slashed the boar's head right off.
27:20It was amazing.
27:23Excuse me, your highness.
27:25You're excused, Andrew.
27:31Now that we're alone, the real fun can begin.
27:41Don't you think it'd be so much better if we just took this thing right off?
27:47Kinky.
27:49I can work with that.
27:53I better not be your damn footman again.
27:56Wow.
27:57Looks like you're having a good time, your highness.
27:59I sure was, until you barged in.
28:01Sadly, your time is up, Juliet.
28:11Don't forget about me.
28:17Good luck following that up.
28:21I assume it went well.
28:22If you would have given me ten more minutes, we would have been in the bed.
28:25I gave you the most time.
28:27Now, I need you to fulfill your end of the deal.
28:30Why do you care so much about that peasant girl?
28:32That's none of your concern.
28:33But, I have told the others that whoever takes Alara out first will be given a huge advantage going forward.
28:39I'm up for a challenge.
28:44You should try sneaking into the gambling dens in Fairmeadow.
28:46He could get into some good trouble.
28:48I do enjoy a bit of mischief.
28:53Miss Parker, your time is up.
28:55Please wait outside.
29:02That was the last one.
29:04You may retire to your bedroom.
29:05Isn't there one more?
29:06No.
29:08She's not feeling well.
29:14Why are you here?
29:16I had to see the most beautiful woman here in my own two eyes.
29:18Keep your honey tongue.
29:20It sweetens nothing I desire.
29:24That's a shame.
29:26Unfortunately for you, I have a date with the prince.
29:29Actually, you don't.
29:33He's retired to his room for the evening.
29:35Unfortunately for you, I'm here to report back to Prince Theo about your sparkling personality.
29:41Plus, I can never let you waste a look as stunning as this.
29:45You deserve to be seen, even if it's just by me.
29:50Shall we?
29:57I asked the prince if he knew anything about the Eatons.
30:00And?
30:00Did he ignore you completely?
30:02No.
30:03But he did sneak into the governess of study and steal this.
30:08What is this?
30:09It's the governess' official log.
30:12She writes everything down.
30:14I had a quick look through there.
30:15There's some good leads.
30:17Leads?
30:17Leads on what?
30:19I don't think Prentice Maeve died of natural causes.
30:21You think the king killed her?
30:24You think King Raphael killed the heir to his own throne?
30:31What are you doing?
30:32I think it's time you and I have a little chat.
30:36Actually, King Raphael seems so horrible, I wouldn't even be surprised.
30:42You possess a remarkable capacity for surprise.
31:10You are making me forget my matters in place.
31:14That's definitely counting as Friday nights.
31:16Anyway, better not get caught.
31:19If you are betraying me, I will drive this knife so far into your neck.
31:23I swear to God.
31:26Then I must do what you say.
31:42What are you thinking about?
31:44Simply longing for a repetition of a particular moment.
31:47Whatever is the obstacle?
31:50Because I, uh, I need to show you this stack.
31:55Earlier today I found this and I think it would be beneficial if you read it.
31:59Do you think this could be proof of the famine?
32:01Whatever you do, do not let anyone know you have this.
32:04Based on what's inside, it could be really dangerous if you're caught with it.
32:15How's your health?
32:16Quite well.
32:18Why?
32:19The governess, she must have been mistaken.
32:23Anyway, if my footman happens to be her too, can you let him know I need him at his convenience?
32:28After he escorts you back, of course.
32:30Certainly.
32:36How can you stand to work for him?
32:39Actually, for the whole royal family.
32:40It's complicated.
32:42The royal family is incredibly sheltered compared to the rest of the realm.
32:44Because that's an acceptable excuse.
32:46Well, working for them means I am too.
32:49I never knew what was going on in Shrewsbury until I met you, so I doubt the prince knows either.
32:52Plausible deniability.
32:53He's the prince.
32:55He can go and see for himself.
32:56King Raphael would never allow that.
32:57He lives a life of luxury while his subjects suffer.
33:00Ignorance is a choice.
33:02More than a circumstance.
33:06Don't tell the prince that.
33:08I'm not one to refrain from candor.
33:10I need you to ride to the castle at once.
33:13King Raphael needs to be informed of my suspicions.
33:16Do not stop.
33:17This is urgent.
33:27Can I tempt you to stay?
33:29I wish.
33:31But when the prince calls, I must answer.
33:47I'll be dreaming of that.
34:00Good morning, your highness.
34:02The rankings are as follows.
34:04Juliet, Jane, Clementine, and Alara.
34:07No.
34:08No?
34:08Lara Holloway is number one.
34:11Do I need to remind you of your place, governess?
34:14No, your highness.
34:15It's merely that your father will be disappointed.
34:31Good morning to you all.
34:33Good morning to you all.
34:34Today, you will compete in a game that is a favorite amongst the children of the royal family.
34:39Hounds and the crown.
34:41We need to talk about what?
34:44You fraternizing with the strapping footmen?
34:46The rules are simple.
34:47Three women, the hounds, will hunt one, the crown.
34:51This is going to be enjoyable.
34:53Not unless the royal hunting you.
34:54The crown must make it back to her room safely.
34:58The hounds will aim to prevent that by any means of their choosing.
35:03Of course, the royal family would play a twisted game like this.
35:06How will you decide who the crown is?
35:07It's based on your ranking by Prince Theo himself.
35:12Alara, you currently hold that coveted spot.
35:15You will be the crown for us today.
35:27Is that any way to greet your father?
35:38That's more like it.
35:40What are you doing here, father?
35:42I'm not allowed to visit my future heir on his most eligible heiress retreat.
35:49Lighten up, my son.
35:51We'll have a lovely lunch while they all hunt each other.
35:55And we can catch up on everything that I've missed here.
35:58Come on.
36:13Ladies, you three will stay with me while Alara goes to hide.
36:17Alara, you must survive in the manor for one hour before finding safety in your room.
36:23There will be guards blocking there.
36:25Do you understand?
36:26We also have spectators today before the match.
36:31The king has asked to see the hunted.
36:37Yes, governess.
36:41Ah, the woman of the hour.
36:44Join us.
36:45Please, seat.
36:48Welcome, my dear.
36:50I must extend congratulations to you on earning first place.
36:55I hear my son has handpicked you.
36:58I would love to learn how you've beaten all of the odds to end up at this moment here.
37:05You've got quite the battle ahead of you.
37:07The crown almost never escapes the hounds.
37:09Your majesty, I only hope to make both my county and this kingdom proud.
37:15And how do you plan on doing that?
37:18And how do you plan on doing that?
37:22Well, by becoming the most eligible heiress, naturally.
37:27We'll see, dear.
37:29But first, I must ask, Holloway, such an interesting surname.
37:37I don't think I've seen that one before.
37:39I come from quite a common family.
37:41Nothing special in Shrewsbury.
37:46How very interesting.
37:49Well, thank you for sharing your company with us.
37:51Good luck to you in the games.
37:58Excuse me.
38:05For what? I did nothing.
38:06For standing up to him.
38:07No one does that.
38:09Look, if you can make it to the hall, there's a secret entrance to my quarters.
38:13To the left of the painting.
38:14From there, you can get to your room easier than navigating the whole quarters.
38:19Good luck.
38:20I'll be waiting.
38:24Everything is ready, your majesty.
38:26I enjoy her.
38:30Such a shame.
38:31There's two staircases.
38:33I will take the east, and Jane, you'll take the west.
38:36And if she stays hidden below?
38:37Then she'll be trapped down there and be forced to make a run right towards us.
38:43You will remain in the front in case she tries anything.
38:47Take a shot if you spot her and call out.
38:51We have favor in our numbers.
38:54Let us not forget.
39:00I wonder if she's found a good hiding spot.
39:02Father, why don't you like her?
39:05Son, you're still young, but you must understand.
39:08Shrewsbury is the reason for the great famine.
39:11That was a hundred years ago.
39:13Must they still be punished?
39:14Yes.
39:15There are larger things at play here, son.
39:16Do not question me.
39:17Isn't the point that I choose whom I want to marry, father?
39:23Maeve once told me the same.
39:24She wasn't wrong, though.
39:26Was she?
39:27She was very wrong.
39:28This competition isn't about love.
39:32It's about maintaining power.
39:43Jane.
39:47A word of counsel.
40:09I thought we had an alliance.
40:10We do, but we have to sell it.
40:15Are you going to tell them about the footnote?
40:17How?
40:17Why would I?
40:18To get rid of me.
40:18To get me killed.
40:19I'm not Juliet.
40:21We're our allies.
40:21I would never do that.
40:22Also, I sort of support you having a little bit of fun
40:25before you win this whole thing,
40:26get locked into a loveless marriage.
40:30There's another thing I should tell you.
40:32I also made a deal with Juliet.
40:34What?
40:34There's a deal with everyone but me?
40:38You hurt my feelings.
40:39Clementine.
40:40Go distract Juliet.
40:42Be safe.
40:47I can't wait to kill you and then win and go home and show all those rich nobles they never
40:52should have snubbed the future queen.
41:03Such an easy kill.
41:06I almost thought you could actually...
41:16So much blood on your hands.
41:24The hour is almost over.
41:25Have you seen her?
41:27No, I haven't.
41:43You're lying to me.
41:44Are you really going to injure your only ally?
41:46Tell me what happened to Jane.
41:48She found Elora in the servants' quarters.
41:49Good girl.
41:57Why did he help me?
42:05Come forth.
42:07Come forth.
42:08Wherever you may be.
42:13Good.
42:14The game has commenced.
42:16What does the last name Eden mean?
42:20Never utter that name again.
42:23Do you hear me?
42:24I hear you, Father.
42:26Good.
42:28Then we shall go to the young ladies' quarters.
42:31I sense an end coming.
42:37There you are.
42:38I found you.
42:42I can't wait to kill you.
42:43You say that so confidently.
42:45Because I will.
42:47I've been training my whole life for this.
42:49I've been promised Prince Theo since birth.
42:52This competition is mine to win.
42:54No wonder you're so miserable.
42:56You spent your whole life for what?
42:59A prince?
43:00The prince who will never love you?
43:02You're here just like I am.
43:03What's the difference?
43:07I'm not here for myself.
43:13What are you doing?
43:14Run!
43:15It's not for you.
43:27Ilarra!
43:33What...
43:33An exhilarating day.
43:35It is a rare occasion when three contestants endure to the end.
43:41The masquerade falls on the morrow.
43:43Make ready in your room.
43:44The door will be locked for your own protection.
43:48Sleep well.
43:49And may your dreams be kind.
43:52a child's heart...
44:01Youpt right, Mary?
44:02I gli and Lażla da chelera.
44:03I don't mind.
44:06What about you?
44:22I don't mind.
44:24your majesty
44:28my confidence is waning your majesty the game's not complete you don't seem to grasp the
44:34consequence should shrewsbury prevail the realm may be plunged into disarray i have done all
44:40within my will it was you who insisted we not kill her in cold blood as a king you must
44:45respect
44:46tradition and this conflict by tomorrow where your own head will be on the line
45:00i thought i was gonna lose you
45:03it takes more than that to kill me i hope so
45:21so
45:28so
45:29so
45:29so
45:56I hope I'm not
46:00disturbing you. Well that would just be impossible. I think it's time for us to discuss your future. Whatever do
46:05you mean? You think I don't know the rumors? The old wives' tale that talks of one of the Eton
46:11princesses surviving and hiding out safely in Shrewsbury all these years. I'm afraid I just don't know what you're talking
46:18about. Yet all the books on Eton dust free in library. I shall put it thus. Whatever happens on the
46:27morrow, I pray no tragedy finds
46:29its way to your home. Your poor mother is fragile, is she not? And your young sister no telling how
46:37she might react to such an event. Grief can drive a person to dreadful and permanent choices.
46:48Perhaps it's time to reconsider your position. I'm certain we can make an arrangement.
47:03Are you okay? Hey, I need you to do something for me. Anything.
47:17If anything should happen to me, I need you to get this to my sister, Elowen Weaver. Of course.
47:23Please promise me. I promise, yeah. Weaver. Wait. Why is her last name different to yours?
47:32I need to tell you something. For you. For tonight. Stay safe. Prince Vio.
48:01Presenting your majesty, King Raphael, ruler of Vindalaris. Also in attendance, Prince Vio, heir to the Vindalaris throne.
48:12Welcome, my subjects. Thank you so much for coming to celebrate the end of the most eligible heiress.
